Senior Silicon Validation Engineer, Electrical, Cloud Silicon

About the job:
Be part of a team that pushes boundaries, developing custom silicon solutions that power the future of Google's direct-to-consumer products. You'll contribute to the innovation behind products loved by millions worldwide. Your expertise will shape the next generation of hardware experiences, delivering unparalleled performance, efficiency, and integration.

Responsibilities:
Develop and execute tests in post-silicon validation and on hardware emulators and assist in bring-up processes from prototyping through post-silicon validation.
Drive debugging and investigation efforts to root-cause complex, cross-functional issues, including pre-silicon prototyping platforms as well as post-silicon bring-up and production.
Ensure validation provides necessary functional coverage for confident design.
Help operate and maintain our hardware emulation platform for pre-silicon integration and validation.

Minimum qualifications:
Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or a related field, or equivalent practical experience.
5 years of experience with functional tests for silicon validation (e.g., C, C++ or Python) or developing embedded software.
Experience in silicon bring-up, functional validation, characterizing, and qualifying silicon.
Experience with board schematics, layout, and debug methodologies using lab equipment.

Preferred qualifications:
Experience with hardware prototyping, including hardware/software integration (i.e., pre-silicon use of emulation, software-based test, and diagnostics development).
Experience in Scripting such as Python for automation development.
Experience with power characterization, Peripheral Component Interconnect Express (PCIe), and Double Data Rate (DDR).
Knowledge of SoC architecture, including boot flows.
